From Miner to Millionaire.

came he sought entrance to the dining
room in his shirt sleeves. The sable
doorkeeper told him he must put his
coat on before going in. Ed got mad at
this infringement on his private rights
and long established custom, and ex-
claimed: 81 guess you don't know who

The Pretty Girl Routed Them.

man and thin man, and by her side

looked over his paper at the curve of
her shoulders. The thin man looked
over his at the creamy roundness of her
chin. The medium man glanced side
ways at her shell-pink ear, and from
there to her dainty hand, and she gazed
abstractedly at a memory. The three
men would each pretend to read a para
graph and then proceed to take another
look. The girl became conscious of the
arrangement after while and began to
get nervous. Men way down at the
ends of the car were beginning to stand
on their toes to examine her loneliness.
The girl looked as if she wanted to
shrink away. She reminded me of Il
hunted fawn with lot of dogs ranged
round her ready to faSten their teeth in
her. At Chatham square the guard
called
"Change for Fulton, Wall and South
ferries -
The girl arose and moved for the
door. The fat man, the thin man, the
medium man and several other men
started also. When the train stopped
the girl turned back and re-entered the
train. And there stood the men who
had followed her out on the station plat
form. They had been routed. The
game had doubled on them. [ tell you,

A Mailman at the Throttle.

A Des Moines paper says: On We'd

the Wabash south-bound train gave the
final touches to his engine and pulled
out just Us usual. At Harvey water
tank he pulled past several lengths.
The fireman mounted the tank and cal
led to him to back, but he pulled furth-
er ahead The fireman returned to the
cab, and, seeing that the engineer was
dazed, backed the engine down himself.
For several stations the engineer would
run past the platform, and he would
smile vacantly when the fireman OBJ
jected. Thinking at last that the en-
ginecr was drunk, the fireman at Knox
vile junction grasped the lever and
saved the train from going through the
switch.
The conductor demonstrated with the
smiling engineer, who responded ''All
right" The train was now late, and
the engineer put on all steam. Having
passed Beacon, he gave yell and
started to spring from the cab window
The fireman caught him by the legs,
and, while he balanced him on the
window ledge, he managed with his
foot to stop the train. The conductor
then helped get him back to the bag
gage car, where he was carefully guard
ed to Ottumwa, and there turned over
to the authorities. He was brought
home, and did not recognize his wife.

A new use for apples has been discov.
cred which may interest the drinkers OF
champagne and Rhine wines. A promi-
nent apple grower of the eastern part Of
Rensselaer, county has for several years
past been running a large evaporatOr Oh
what are known as ''cider apples" q
small gnarly variety which the farmers
usually consign to cider mills. These
machines slice the apples, skin, core and
all, very thin. These thin slices are then
bleached white by the use of sulphur
fumes. When Thoroughly dry the evap-
grated apples are put into sugar barrels
and packed as tight as they can be
pressed, so that a single barrel will hold
200 pounds, or twenty bushels of apples.
These are then shipped to New York for
expectation to Germany, where they are
ground up for the manufacture of what
is known as cider, and it is generally I'M
derstood that much of it enters into the
composition of champagne, Rhine and
other wines. 1t is said that when these
evaporated apples are cut up and properly
"doctored" the finest cider is produced.
Last year more than two car loads of
dried apple were sent from one station
alone on the Lebanon Springs railroad

THE AUTUMN SPELL

The ermine edges of fair Autumn's gown
Wind-stirred when stirless lies the thistle

GIrded and glorious in her sunny guise
The golden goddess beams from half closed

Her leaden-lidded glances earthward bent
FIJI drowsy nature with sweet content,
And afternoon in rich half-slumber lies.
Hershadow fingers on the sunny field,
Soft as the dewy touch of early sleep,

Bending their jeweled heads, in slumber

Themselves to dream, while cloudy shad-

The popped spell of Autumn lethargy.

McGiiligan and the Pig.

A few years ago there lived in the
little village of Florenceville, on the st.
John River, New Brunswick, little
north of Ireland schOOlmaster and petty
shopkeeper by the name of McGilligan.
He was small of stature and Of mind, but
great i'll his own estimation.
If not placed in some petty Office he
was convinced that everything was 60
ing wrong, and at every district meeting
and in every hour of every day he would
be loud in his denunciatiOn of the pow
ers that were. So, to keep peace, he
was usually accommodated with some
office that no one else wanted. This
particular spring he was elected hog
reave or pound keeper.
There lived in the same village John
Darkis, blacksmith and noted prac-
teal Joker. One day, while the honOrs
of his office were still fresh upon Nc
Gilligan, Darkis dropped into Mr.. Hog
Reave's little shop with the startling
news that pig was running loose on
the common.
"Whose pig is it ?" asked McGilligan.
"God knows answered John; "but
it ought to be in pound.
''Sure," said the poundkeeper, "Tll
see that the laws are enforced" and in
his fresh white shirt and white vest and
trousers he sailed forth to apprehend
the disturber of the peace.
For some reason, probably best known
to the blacksmith, every boy and loafer
and yellow dog in the village was on the
common, watching the pig, which was
very small one, black as a crow and I'M
conscious that its minutes of liberty
were numbered.
McGilligan surrounded the pig, but
it refused to be driven into the pound.
Some way, every time it was at the en-
trance some villainous boy would man
age to start it the other way The old
man threatened, cOaxed and chased the
pig until he was about tired out and on
the point of abandoning the pursuit,
when Darkis reminded him that the pig
must go to pound. "True," said Nc
Gilligan, ''but how the deuce am L to
get him there ?"
"Why," explained the exasperated
reeve, "carry him in; he's but little
one"
No sooner said than done. McGilli-
pound, but he himself was sorry sight.
His snowy clothes were as black as the
pig. The rascally blacksmith had taken
the pig and thoroughly rubbed him
with lampblack and oil. McGilligan's
ambition for Office was satisfied.

New and Terrible Explosives.

There is no end to the perfectly dia.
bolical competition Of the military
powers of Europe in the discovery OF
new chemical agents for the destruction
of mankind. It is reported that the
Russian Minister for War has just con-
cluded series of experiments of new
explosive compound which bids fair to
outdo the qualities of melinite, roburlte
and all other explosives whatever III It's
application to all the present uses of
gunpowder This new and murderous
composition is destined, say many per-
sons, to revolutiOnize the existing sys-
tenn of ammunition. This new explosive
is the discovery of Russian engineer,
and has been christened Sleetover. Its
strength is equal to that of pyroXyline,
and has the immense advantage of being
ten times cheaper than ordinary villain
Gus saltpetre. Another great SUPERIOR
ty which it possesses over all the known
explosives of the dynamite class is that
when fired its force does not strike
downward, but entirely in forward
direction, 50 that it can be used for
all the purposes of cannon and musket
charges to which ordinary gunpowder is
now applied, without any damage what
ever to the weapon from which it is dis
charged. It is stated, in fact, that ball
cartridges loaded with it have been
fired out of cardboard barrels as test
without the least injury to the latter.
So satisfactory, indeed, have been the
experiments that it is reported the Min
lister of War is about to have special
factory built for its manufacture. The

long ago a Boston man stole large sum
of money from his employers and fed to

sent to detectives and police superin-
tendents generally; and about month
after his escape Il Minnesota officer tele-
graphed that he thought he had his eye
upon the person wanted. His appear
ance, however, was very different from
that description in the circular. The
situation was pressing one; if
the supposed criminal was such in fact:
he might at any moment fly to Canada,
on the other hand, to arrest an innocent
person would cause great deal of
trouble. The object was to identify the
man if possible, within few hours. In
this emergency the Boston detective i'll
charge of the case examined and cross
examined the thief's employers as to his
peculiarities. They could hit upon no
thing distinctive till finally the detective
inquired in moment of inspiration-if
he had any peculiar way of expressing

half an hour the information was tele-
